A Birmingham Primary school has had part of its ceiling collapse with one child taken to hospital.<\/p>\n
Nechells E-ACT Primary Academy was evacuated when a portion of a classroom ceiling fell on a group of year-two pupils on Thursday 10 May.<\/p>\n
The academy said the child was taken to hospital as a “precaution” and the evacuation was also precautionary.<\/p>\n
The school remains closed.<\/p>\n
West Midlands Ambulance Service said its staff treated three children and one adult when they arrived at the scene.<\/p>\n
A seven-year-old girl, Sara, said she was in the classroom when “half of the roof came down”.<\/p>\n
She said she saw blood on her friend’s neck and the children “cried a lot because we were scared”<\/p>\n
Nassir Khan, whose son attends the school, said he left his job nearby when he heard the ceiling collapsed, but nobody from the school contacted him or his wife.<\/p>\n
His son was “very scared”, he said, and told him there was “lots of dust”.<\/p>\n
The school said it will be “fully investigating” the cause of the ceiling collapse “at the earliest opportunity”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
